The Nurse Maude Hospice Shop on Papanui Road in Merivale, Christchurch. I had heard that 'op shops' in well-to-do areas were a good place to shop because you can find very good quality clothes that have hardly been worn. In the three weeks I've been here I have bought quite a few items from here, including a lovely silk skirt for $8.

First week's theme in Project Run & Play, a remix of a circle skirt.
Each hero in my comic strip is appliqued onto the skirt... to see my tutorial and more photos check out my blog here:

The Crisis Project was named after the interpretation of the definitions of the word Crisis:
“A stage in a sequence of events at which the trend of all future events, esp. for better or for worse, is determined; turning point “
“A condition of instability, or danger, as in a social, economic, political, or international affairs, leading to decisive change.”
“A dramatic emotional or circumstantial upheaval in a person’s or people’s existence.”
The goal of The Crisis Project is to alter people’s perception of ‘the suburbs’, while both encouraging artists to use the public space as their canvass, and to create a sense of fear within the affected communities for those who don’t understand.
The Suburbs have the undeniable connotation of: “white picket fences, and safe community living for all.” Those who live here by choice do so to: either escape the negative aspects of city dwelling, or to move out of the country in search of a more connected lifestyle. Those who are born here, who grow up in ‘Suburbia’ don’t see their surroundings as an escape, but as a prison of town parks and strip malls.
Excluding illuminated store signs and the odd billboard, the suburbs are devoid of any visual stimulation, exactly what property owners want, and expect. But this existence, compounded with the many destructive aspects of the suburban youth lifestyle, only intensifies the angst against the powers that be, by starving creativity.
The Crisis Project is the initial attack on the habituated suburban lifestyle, which hopes to both bring together suburban youth to inspire art and creativity, and to initiate the waves of change against the clean walls, and municipal supremacy.

#294 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: a doodle while I was on the phone, on hold.
Result: NUTS
Materials: Sakura Micron 005 in a Stillman & Birn Epsilon series sketchbook
Location: Home
Note: Ages ago I'd made a note for myself to draw words with squirrels...while trapped in automated answering service hell. In that context...a lot of strange ideas makes sense.
Very simple drawing today....my hands ache from weeding yesterday and gripping a pen/pencil is just not something I can do for long.
We went to the Eden Project for the final session:- Paolo Nutini was playing :) The Concert was Great.
First Day out with New Camera :) Really loving the wide-angle!
He took it out on my vintage camera at the time. Wolverine was my subject for the 365 day project of my blog. He sadly went missing on a photoshoot and this brought the project to an end at day 64.
Read all about it in my photoblog at: takingpictures101.blogspot.com/2011/12/wolverine-day-64th...
Thanks for watching.

Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Sakura Micron 005 in a Moleskine plain cache notebook

Notes: The husband, son and I went to Kingston to visit our daughter who attends university there. The siblings hung out at night together at her apartment while us older folks curled up by the fire at a historic hotel with our books, newspapers and tea. It was very nice :)
Rosemary recaptured our penguin.
A former colleague, John who is now in Canada, brought this in some time ago. The team on the floor above us kidnapped him a few weeks ago. Today Rosemary recaptured him and put him on guard by the Christmas tree.

The evil monkey from Chris's closet, spinning around on my office chair. Idea shamelessly cribbed from various challenges.

Aiden just got out of bed, but he really wants to go outside. Unfortunately, it's a little cold to go out in just a hat and a scarf!
Ignore it please =)
I hate posting randome stuff like that, but I have no better pics from yesterday...
But, I'm happy I've had some time today to make some new pics (to come) and to post here and browse Flickr a bit =)
HBW! *off to your streams*
Universitats-kirche (Kollegienkirche) - University / College Church)
The high altar, created about 1740 by Anton Pfaffinger, symbolizes Proverbs ix:1 (Wisdom has built a house for itself and has hewn out seven pillars.) The decorative stucco work was done by Diego Francesco Carlone and Paolo D'Allio. This church is one of the most important specimens of the Austrian and, consequently, of the European baroque style.

Inspiration: Foxy Lady in fur
Result: Lady Fox
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Micron 005 & 02 pens, in a Moleskine plain journal
Location: At home
Note: All these cat girls in fox fur coats...so just to be fair, today it's the flipside of that anthropomorphic coin. Oh and drawing a fox is not anything at all like drawing a dog...their faces are so pointy!
